Eagle

Elisabeth Fulda

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of an eagle in flight. The image features a detailed rendering of an eagle with wings extended as if soaring through the sky. The bird is depicted in a monochromatic palette, primarily using shades of blue, highlighting the intricate details of its feathers. The texture of the feathers shows subtle shading and intricate line work, giving the eagle a three-dimensional appearance. The background is a plain, light color, which contrasts with the dark hues of the eagle, allowing it to stand out prominently.
